My right turn indicator light stays on (no blinking) when I turn my headlights on. It seems to work (blink) normally when turning, but then just stays on after the flasher turns off. When my headlights are off, my indicators work normally. I have replaced the flasher, but it didn't fix the problem. The fuses are also fine. All bulbs are fine. Hazards work as intended. Could you please let me know what else to try? Thank you!

Well with what you have discribed and with what I can find it looks like you may have a headlight switch problems. We can do a couple of tests if you have a test light or multi meter to be sure. If you would like to do a couple of test I first need to know if your Camaro is a RS or Z28 model as the wiring is different between the two. Let me know what you would like to do and we will go from there.

Hi,

It's a 1991 Camaro V8 RS. I do indeed have a multimeter. Let the testing begin!

Hi, it's the right turn signal, the indicator on the dash that stays on when the headlights are on. None of the outside indicator lights are affected. Hope this helps!

Ok what I need you to do is check the dark blue wire coming from the turn signal socket and see if there is power there. Let me know what you find ok. Also check the brown wire for power and then if you would check the black wire and make sure it is grounded well. Let me know what you find and we will go from there.
